The Museum was founded in 1995, having the worldwide recognition of the first Genocide of the 20th century as its goal. Exposition of the museum contains documents and photos revealing the history of preparation and implementation of the Genocide of Armenians by Turkish authorities. In the Armenian Genocide Museum the visitors can get acquainted with the history and documented evidence of crimes that led to more than 100 years of national grief. As part of the monument, an arrow-shaped stele of granite reaches to the sky. Partly split by a deep crevice, the tower symbolizes the dispersion of the Armenian people and at the same time, expresses their unity. At the center of the Monument stands the circular Memorial Sanctuary. Its unroofed walls consist of twelve inward-leaning basalt slabs forming a circle. The shape of these simulates traditional Armenian khatchkars and also suggests figures in mourning. At the center there is an eternal flame, memorializing all the victims of the Genocide.
